  2. Layer Ingredients: Spread pecan nuts at the bottom, sprinkle dark chocolate chips over the pecans.
  3. Mix Filling: Whisk together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon until smooth; pour mixture over layered ingredients.
  4. Bake the Pie: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C), bake for 40-50 minutes, checking after 20 minutes to protect the crust edges.
